Large Fibroid Advice Please

Iloveunicorns1977 profile image

Hi everyone I hope you can help me. I'm 47 years old with two children and a history of endometriosis. 12 years ago I had keyhole surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. I have been bleeding constantly for 18 months. I went for an ultrasound and they discovered a subserosal fibroid that is larger than my uterus. I finally got an appointment with the consultant who has put me on progesterone tablets which have made the bleeding worse. They have also suggested something called a novasure endometrial ablation rather than a hysterectomy. Have I been given the correct advice? If I have the ablation it will stop the bleeding but won't the fibroid still be there?

I have 5 fibroids and tried the Mirena coil which made the bleeding worse. I then used tranexanic acid tablets which i took until my menopause kicked in. I am now out the other end and have no more problems from the pesky fibroids

hi girl here are some really cool things you can try … there are some amazing supplements and I’m not sure if I can the name on here which helped me. I also use progesterone cream- natural version is actually good. I would suggest also starting on Moring tea. Start drinking dandelion tea as well.. do not drink it during your period though…it’s good to detoxify your liver. Do castor oil packs on your liver as well. I’m starting to recognise a natural approach to detoxifying your liver is key and as tired as you may feel try hard to go for walks. Ensure you’re getting enough sunlight. And if you take vitamin D supplements ensure it has vitamin K2. I don’t know if you’re spiritual but pray to God. Also target eating keto style meals you don’t have to do a keto diet. keto style eating will give you energy. If you’re living in a space that’s very cluttered slowly start decluttering. Because stress causes inflammation which affects how our body processes. I know this is not Dr. chatter, but it will help you. I hope that you’ll see some improvement in a couple months. If you want a list of some of vitamins that I take send me a direct message so I can type it to. And no, I don’t have any commission. I’m just a woman that I believe God has blessed and healed. Take care
